There's also been the alleged gang-rape by members of University of Montana's lucrative Division I football team, Jezebel reported. Jordan Johnson, the UM's quarterback, was charged this summer with raping an acquaintance, although Johnson maintains his innocence.

All of this has prompted an investigation of the university and town police department by the U.S. Department of Justice. Inside Higher Ed reports UM is being investigated on whether they violated Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 and Title IV of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which prohibit sex discrimination and sexual assault and harassment in education program.

Judging by news reports, one could easily believe sexual assaults on campus are an everyday thing. In the past week, there were several reports of sexual assaults being investigated at college campuses around the country:

Tidiane Sako, a Millersville University student, is facing charges for an alleged attempted sexual assault in his dorm.

So far, UM is the first major public university to require a rape prevention quiz and tutorial. While it is being called a positive step, it's not being hailed as a be-all-end-all to preventing sexual assaults.
